**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Contact with water liberates highly flammable gases. Spontaneously
flammable in air. Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.Air
sensitive.Moisture sensitive.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. Causes "nickel itch" which is a dermatitis
resulting from sensitization to nickel, which is characterized by
skin eruptions, followed by discrete ulcers that may discharge and
become crusted, or by eczema.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Inhalation:
May cause irritation of the respiratory tract with burning pain in
the nose and throat, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and
pulmonary edema.
Chronic:
May cause cancer according to animal studies. Symptoms of
overexposure to nickel can cause sensitization, dermatitis, allergic
asthma and pneumonitis.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Get medical aid.
Notes to Physician:
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form
explosive mixtures with air. Combustion generates toxic fumes. Use
water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Flammable solid.
May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Containers may explode when
heated.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical to fight fire. Use dry sand, Met-L-X powder, or G-1
graphite powder. Do NOT use water, carbon dioxide, or foam. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways.
Wash area with soap and water. Wear a self contained breathing
apparatus and appropriate Personal protection. (See Exposure
Controls, Personal Protection section). Sweep up or absorb material,
then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal.
Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition.
Isolate area and deny entry. Provide ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes. Avoid contact with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion
and inhalation. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Flammables-area.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only under a
chemical fume hood.
Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face
protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin
exposure.
Respirators:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR
1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a
NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator
when necessary.
